From Suleiman Abubakar Rimi Uku Lafia
The Nasarawa State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Isaac Danladi, has reiterated the state government’s commitment to strengthening the justice sector to support economic growth and ensure timely access to justice for all citizens.
In a welcome Speech at the ongoing 2025 Conference Of The Network Of The Justice Sector Reform Teams in Lafia, Danladi said the administration is focused on building a justice system that encourages investment, promotes transparency, and removes obstacles to economic development.
He emphasized that investors depend on stable institutions and predictable justice processes, while citizens require affordable and timely access to justice.
According to him, “When justice works, the economy breathes; but when justice is delayed, the economy stalls.”
Danladi noted that for too long, justice and business have operated as though they belonged to separate spheres. However, he stressed that both are inseparable and essential to sustainable development.
He warned that a slow, opaque, or uncoordinated justice system increases economic costs, uncertainty, inefficiency, and reduces public trust.
He added that a digital, transparent, and well-coordinated justice sector strengthens the rule of law and protects citizens.
This year’s theme, “Interoperability Between Access to Justice and the Ease of Doing Business in Nigeria,” aligns with the realities facing the country, where businesses of all sizes depend on effective justice mechanisms to thrive.
Danladi urged participants to propose reforms capable of delivering measurable results and advancing the state’s justice transformation agenda.
Welcoming stakeholders to Lafia on behalf of the Nasarawa State Government and the peace-loving people of the state, Danladi wished them productive deliberations and a pleasant stay.
He concluded by expressing confidence that the outcomes of the forum would support a more equitable and prosperous future for Nasarawa State.
